Des Comtes Lafon, Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru, 2016
🏰 The 2016 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Genevrieres 1er Cru is an 【exceptional white 布根地 (Burgundy) Chardonnay from one of the region's top producers】, renowned for its quality and elegance. Despite a challenging year for many, the Genevrieres vineyard yielded a normal crop in 2016. This wine presents a vivid, hazelnut and flinty bouquet, a little stricter than other years but very well focused. The palate is composed with fine, lightly honeyed fruit, hazelnut, and almond, leading to a very pretty and harmonious finish, framed by underlying minerality and perfectly integrated acidity.
🍴 This elegant Meursault is a superb pairing for rich fish like salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and creamy pasta dishes. It also shines with grilled oysters, swordfish with mango salsa, or even a delicate watercress soup.
🥂 An ideal wine for a sophisticated dinner party, a special celebration, or for those who appreciate the finest white Burgundies. It has excellent aging potential and will continue to evolve beautifully over the next decade.
BACKGROUND
Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a wine producer in Burgundy, France, making some of the most lauded (and highly priced) white wines from Chardonnay in the region. The primary grape variety is Chardonnay, with a small portion being Pinot Noir. The estate is located in Meursault in the Côte de Beaune subregion, but has vineyards in three other villages: Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Monthélie. Comtes Lafon's house and cellar were built in 1869 by the Boch family, but its reputation as a winery was most heavily influenced by Jules Lafon, who married Marie Boch in 1894.
